Matt - a lot of the comments covered a variety of talking points. As far as foods -
We started substituting cauliflower rice for rice/potatoes/noodles. We do stir-fries and fried rice with it, and the key, at least for my taste, is cooking the riced cauliflower until almost all the water is gone and it takes on a toasted appearance. Add in other veggies, protein of your choice, etc.
We also followed a friend's tip for roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - cut thin and drizzled with olive oil. 435F for 15-20 minutes is good.
We also found the Carb Sense tortillas to be a good substitute for standard tortillas / soft tacos. Egg sandwiches on the smaller carb sense/carb zero shells with cheese are good. We do them almost like a quesadilla to toast the shells and melt the cheese.
You can also do mini pizzas at home using toasted carb sense tortillas, and then topping them as you want.
Bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta were a problem for me. I'm not carb-free, but generally between 20 and 50g per day and that has worked well for me to lose 70lbs and maintain it.
